  • Probably ought to ask this in the mechanics section, but what are the longest cable mtb brake levers one can currently buy? Tektro look like they do some fairly long ones.

    It’s on a heavy contraption with BB7 mtb calipers re-worked to operate as always on (a sort of dead man’s handle type brake) and Avid Speed Dials to pull them off, but it needs a bit more leverage.

  • needs a bit more leverage.

    Leverage is about ratio, not absolute length. Try a flat bar road lever, they have greater mechanical advantage than MTB levers.
